Glass experts, which tint is best.

Hey guys I didn't see how you attached the glass to the cabniet. Did you guys just lean it up against the monitor bezel. That is what I am trying to figure out. if you used screws what do the screws screw into. Got any pics or info how to do it?

rdowdy: one thing you can do is put glass hinges on it: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=132 and drill a 1/4" hole in blocks of wood to mount it, swinging upwards. It would leave a small gap on the sides, but that can be covered with some trim or something.

I just leaned it up against the monitor bezel and it is holding just fine. Just to be safe I just picked up a clear plastic corner protector (the kind used to project drywall walls). I plan to mount this on the bottom of the glass to hold it in place. It doesn't really seem to be needed, but it is just for a piece of mind.
Chris:
I'm sure this is a stupid question but if I already have tempered glass (I think it's tempered, it's the original glass in a Konami cabinet), how do I get it tinted? Just use the film at an auto parts store or take it to a glass shop, or can it be tinted well after it's already tempered?

I was tempted to do just that with my cocktail, but the original glass had a few too many chips in the edges. I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work though.
